Shopping Lists are only the beginning...

I have tried to find something that works better for a shopping list that bothmy wife and I can update but keep coming back to OneNote, having moved it from Apple’s Note which is not so good IMHO. I think that there are a few things that Microsoft could do better but it is FREE and I suppose that if they added more features why would people need Word, Excel, etc which can also be cloud-based and shared across users via OneDrive. A small niggle of mine is how they have changed the weight of the tick in the tick-box so it is less visible and this can’t be changed AFAIK.
For the moment this is the way we do our shopping lists and it works fine. Better than, say, Wunderlist (also owned by Microsoft now) which I also use and is great, but not for big lists that I need to amend and edit and re-use.

Great program

Update 2019, still the best note app but there is a catch, once you go over the free storage limit of 5Gb you have to pay for an Office subscription and for a storage only account you can only buy an extra 100Gb. There IS NO option to store your data locally. Otherwise a great program for keeping all of your important electronic and scanned paper documents, recipes and pictures, hand scetches etc and synchronize with other handheld devices. My only issue is that it get out of sync sometimes, not often but when it does it is a mess. Having said that it is the best program besides notability for mac OS and iPad and notability has similar lapses in memory at times when it comes to syncing. Personally I find Notability better for taking handwritten notes in meetings but all of your information is synchronised between devices where Onenote you can select which information you want to sync to your mobile device which is a fantastic feature as most mobile devices do not have unlimited memory. So I use both with Onenote the main archive repository…. works for me. I say it is great as Onenote and Notebility from 4 years of using these programs are the best on the market at this time.

Brilliant!

I work in sales and have been using it daily as a quick CRM and project management, as well as a to do list and meetings notes. I use the linking system a lot from a sheet to another sheet, to a web page or a location on my drive. I also share half of my notes with my assistant and love how changes instantly show on both ends.
Would be good to develop a few more options in modifying pictures (crop, transparency, etc) and on table, sum & alphabetical order. Also, I have had an issue where some of the PDF attached seem to stay open in the back end and can not be open again. I just solve it by cut and copy the file again and it works, but would be good to solve this, especially when sharing noted with others.

In summary, could not live without it right now thank you!
